** The following ports have a version number that sorts before a previous one **

 For many package tools to work correctly, it is of utmost importance that
 version numbers of a port form a monotonic increasing sequence over time.
 Refer to the FreeBSD Porter's Handbook, 'Package Naming Conventions' for
 more information. Tools that won't work include pkg_version, portupgrade
 and portaudit. A common error is an accidental deletion of PORTEPOCH.

 Please fix any errors as soon as possible.

- *lang/python* <python@FreeBSD.org>: python-2.4.3 < python-2.4.3_1
   | revision 1.154
   | date: 2006/10/09 14:29:15;  author: perky;  state: Exp;  lines: +12 -193
   | - Update the main python version to 2.5.
   |   - Now, lang/python is just a meta-port which depends on lang/python25.
   |   - And all versions of Python ports have short version identifier in its
   |     package name; python25-2.5, python24-2.4.3 and etc.
   |   - Also you must upgrade all python modules after lang/python updated,
   |      cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages
   | 
   | - Give maintainership of Python ports to the new python@ group which
   |   includes me, alexbl@ and others.
